Why is it that the only way to find small dropped parts that you have dropped is make another? Then the original comes out of hiding. This is especially true when I can't find my brass magnet! <*<

The universe has many mysteries, some are yet to be revealed and some may never be solved. Why is it that dropped parts automatically acquire the same colour as the carpet? Why does the matt white run out just after shops shut? Is Robbe ever going to make a kit that fits together properly. Many modellers have pondered these question and many more have said "Oh, bu**er this for a game of soldiers" and gone down the pub!

I had a friend that called this "Time Travel, You'll find the part in the future."

• A falling object always rolls to the most inaccessible corner.
• The fastest way to find a missing object is to buy a replacement.
• The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny..."
[Isaac Asimov]
• The two most abundant things in all the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.

Every good workshop has a Gremlin who's job is to hide small tools or parts that are needed. Only when they have been replaced will the Gremlin bring the originals out of hiding. Where does the Gremlin come from? Many scientists believe that once the quality of work produced in the workshop reaches a sufficiently high standard the Gremlin spontaneously appears from the space time continuum. Others argue that the mere formation of the workshop causes the Gremlin to appear.

The best brass magnet you

Just as an aside, what is the plural of Universe?
If the universe is infinite why should there be one atall? {:-{

Cut a piece out of a pair of ladies tights. Use elastic bands to hold it over the end of the vacuum extension tube. Then turn on and move it across the floor. It'll suck up any small parts but they won't pass into the vacuum but get caught on the mesh of the tights.

Bare feet in my garage? not b****y likely! I have a carpet in the garage, but that just hides the smallest bits. I thought it would stop them bouncing or rolling away but I reckon the gremlin who lives under the bench can bury the small bits in it. Still it does make for variety, I rarely make two bits the same.

My dad has this happen alot too!!! %%
He made some door latches for his Adamant and lost about 10 of them, so made another 10 to replace those missing and I found them all on the floor on the carpet reflecting in the lamp light!
Lets just say he is pretty good at making latches and door handles now!

Hi Raflaunches, is your Dad's Adamant steam powered? Cheers John.
-
Unfortunately no, electric powered with a smoke generator. The access is quite small for the size of the model.

The plural of Universe is multiverse according to our son who knows about these things
There needs to be an Universe or we would not be here.
Yet!

Surely "Multiverse" is a long poem?

Hi Brian,
Sorry, the question was a bit ambiguous <:(
It was just the plural bit and not the existence of that I was questioning.........I think.........must ask the dolphins.........or the mice?

As Brian says, use her tights not her fish net stockings as they don't work. {-) :-))
Regards Howard.
